So he does this whole cat cleaning his self thing w/ his hand/head, ONLY when he's nursing to go to sleep.

He'll do it over & over & over again. I haven't a clue how he has any hair atop his head. Can't believe he hasn't rubbed it all off.

This is his first nursing habit... It's cute, but can be a bit frustrating at time especially when he's cranky and trying to fight sleep.

Which I wonder, is that his purpose in doing this? Trying to stay awake?

Any other babies out there do it?

PS
We were ready for bed, so excuse the night clothes, no make-up, hair a mess look.

  • but you stop at like 6 months, right ? Cause i'm weirded out by my girlfriend breastfeeding her 13 month old....I'll like..break up with her if someone tells me its not normal lol.

  • It's not weird at all....Your supposed to ONLY feed your baby breastmilk the first 6 months, and for a MINIMUM of 12 months. It's suggested you go at least a full 2 years. Most babies will self wean between 2-4 years old. It's not weird at all. If she nurses for the first 18 months it makes it MUCH MUCH MUCH easier (as for parenting) on both of you. Far less temper tantrums.

  • @xxxjoelpolexxx

    Just want to say that when I was born I was lactose intolerant, and was raised on soy formula for about the first 2 years of my life (I could drink milk by the time I was 3, but for some reason couldn't when I was a baby). According to my mom, my family, and my mom's friends, I almost never had tantrums or even cried when something was wrong with me.

  • @SpunkySkunk347 Perhaps you built up a slow tolerance to it through other foods that contained milk/dairy?

  • @xxxjoelpolexxx

    I also have a lot of anxiety issues now (I'm 19), like I get panic attacks and think I'm dying sometimes, usually if I've been alone for too long, and I have like an innate fear of being left behind by the people I love.

    I've been to a lot of psychologists, and they also speculate that those were all consequences of never being breast fed.

    Sorry that these posts are kind of long, but I hope all that helps any future parents who are deciding whether or not to breast feed.

  • @SpunkySkunk347 I can relate to the anxiety issues...when I was your age I faced a lot of that my self...panic attacks, I couldn't be left alone, fear of death. Which to this day I still get panic attacks & anxiety issues but not NEARLY as often. I've never connected those dots to not being breastfed though?!?! I'd like to hear the reasoning behind the conclusion. I LOVE TO LEARN!!!

  • My son does the exact same thing. I think it's so cute. Love the cat analogy, lol

  • my son does this now, but he is only 3 months old. He just does not want to fall asleep!! He also resorts to grabbing my hair , jerking his head (while still nursing, ouch!), and clawing my boob...i think he triest o get me to jump to wake him up because it HURTS lol.

  • @xxxjoelpolexxx

    However, there are a lot of things I notice that I think resulted from not being breast fed. For example, whenever I drink milk on a regular basis (like once a glass once a day), my body would tend to store up a lot of body fat - and on the contrary, when I don't drink milk, I start losing weight rapidly (as much as 10lbs or more in less than a week).

  • my daughters EXACTLY the same and 5 months now but she grabs when she gets to my t shirt or skin lol x
